Well I found another FB the other day and finally got her home today. the previous owner says that it has a bad side seal and a bad apex seal. They already started to strip down the engine and lost interest. I decided to pick her up and make a nice little cruiser out of her, since there is no point in building anything fast after gateway closed down.

Sorry for the crappy photos, once I give her a bath I will take some better ones.

So far total cost of the car(including the tow home) is $75.

I will try to grab an engine bay pic or 2(not much to see) before I head off to work.

EDIT: Ignore the drunk drawings of the previous owner and his friends....

Nice car and even nicer price wish I could find those deals down here.

Damn, and I was just in STL.

I'll give you $100 for it, and come pick it up.

Profit for you!

is it too early to elaborate on your plans?

What I would like to do is:

1. New bushings all around and keep it at stock ride height
2. Small port on a 12a with the holley setup
3. minor exhaust work, nothing drastic or to loud
4. clean the outside and inside replacing what needs to be replaced.

sounds pretty solid. get to it. :)

I would already be at it if I wasn't sitting in an airport. This always happens when I get a new toy, I hafe to fly off for a business trip. Its min this week and ohio next week.

Haha more time to plan it out and more money for parts

LOL, I just saw that a pic of my puppy got into the mix.

Anyway, I am dont traveling for at least a week so I should have the bad motor out this week.

Unfortanatally the guy who I was buying the replacement engine from had a small flood at his shop(1-2 feet of water), so I dont know the condition of the engine yet.

Nice deal... that actually beats my all time best buy for a cheap FB! Good luck with that engine, hope it isn't swimming!

Mothers clay bar will make that FB look real good!! you should give it a try...
